Ben-Gvir Calls Netanyahu 'Morally Bankrupt' For Allowing Aid Into Gaza

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir calls Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu morally bankrupt for allowing Arab countries to send aid into Gaza. Notably, Israel announced a tactical pause in military action. The decision came after Israel had been facing pressure from Western governments regarding aid agencies’ warnings of mass starvation taking place in the Gaza Strip, causing deaths of civilians, especially children.

Calling to allow food aid into Gaza a morally bankrupt approach, Ben-Gvir targeted Netanyahu for releasing aid while Israeli hostages are still held by Hamas. The Israeli Knesset member demanded instead a strategy of military aggression and displacement. Ben-Gvir said to pour more shells and bombs on Palestinians, conquering and encouraging emigration, and winning the war.

Ben-Gvir’s comments came as part of a broader context where Israel has been accused of using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza, with reports from UN bodies highlighting severe humanitarian crises, causing suffering to hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, Ben Gvir says that he was excluded from a phone call between PM Netanyahu and senior cabinet members in which it was decided that Israel would increase and improving the flow of humanitarina aid into the Gaza Strip.

He says, that Israel is surrendering to Hamas’ false campaign of famine and starvation across the Palestinian enclave and is endangering IDF soldiers. Ben Gvir sees the complete stop of humanitarian aid to win the war and return the hostages.
